Moorcock's Miscellany

[manmiles]

I've seen this advertised on Amazon. What is this book?

If this should be moved elsewhere, please do so before I kill again!

There's a bit more information about it here:

The Amazon entry's a bit weird. Essentially it's an anthology of loads of short work (or extracts) I like, from the 1830s onwards. Benjamin Disraeli, Israel Zangwill, Dorothy Parker, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, Rafael Sabatini. What you might call an eclectic collection. Something for everyone! They asked me to cut it from around 1000 pages to about 600 but it's still pretty interesting, I think. John Coulthart did the design inside.

Well, definatly one to buy. Looks very interesting.

Well, I can recommend the authors! I think it's a nice collection. The larger one was even better, but it would certainly have fallen apart as you opened it!

I'm sure this has been asked before, Mike, but when the Miscellany is published, is there any chance you could post the titles of the stories/extracts that ended up getting omitted? Something like a 'Director's Cut', as it were. Then those who want to search out what would have been in the book could have the chance to to do so?

Good idea. I'll try to remember to do this.
